Did TCL have a compatibility break with version 8? I've always perceived TCL as an incredibly stable language, with features added but rarely removed/changed. Is there a time when that wasn't true?

Correct, the move from Tcl 7 to Tcl 8 did not break Tcl code nor C extensions, and brought huge performance benefits. C extensions could be updated to use them, but the C string API continued (and continues) to exist.
